In a recent issue tho "Gisborne Times" states that, on this acconnt, tho board must. bo charged with the delay of the Tarawera. "One feature of yesterday's fiasco," - says the paper, "must not be overlooked. The incident - emphasised . ' Very forcibly tho ineed for an 'outer..'Harbour, at which both passengers: and. cargo can he promptly discharged from a steamer's, side direct to a wharf. Anything else is merely of temporary nature, and the ultimate, policy,of i the board, .which, members should'never lose sight of, should ,ho to place Gisborne in lline with the chief centres in'this respect. : Until wo have a first-clnss harbour, ■ Gisborne-will inever attnin to tho.first rank amongst Dominion towns' which'the rosotircbs of tho surrounding district entitle'it .to occupy.".; '
